We studied the dependence of electrical conduction mechanism of Cupric Oxide on temperature and measured the specific resistivity of sintered specimen from $600^{\circ}C$ to 90$0^{\circ}C$ . We considered the relations between electrical conducti-vityand temperature with reheating the sintered specimen. X-Ray diffraction patterns showed that lattice parameters of cupric oxide increased above 20$0^{\circ}C$. Cupric oxide had nostoichiometric compositions$(CuO_{1+x})$ owing to the excess oxygen and showed hole conduction with energy gap of 0.15eV below $650^{\circ}C$$\pm$1$0^{\circ}C$ Above $650^{\circ}C$$\pm$1$0^{\circ}C$ cupic oxide had the stoichiometric composition and showed electron-hole conduction owing to the intrinsic ionization with energy gap of 1.04V.

Solid solutions of Pr2-xBaxNiO4±δ with K2NiF4-type structure were prepared in air and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinements, iodometry titrations, and conductivity measurements. The range of the solid solution was 0 ≤ x < 0.5. The crystal structure changes from orthorhombic (Fmmm) for x ≤ 0.1 to pseudo-tetragonal (I4/mmm) for x ≥ 0.2. The orthorhombic structure of x=0.1 transforms to tetragonal at low temperature. The bond distances obtained from the Rietvel analyses did not vary significantly with the Ba content except that of Ni-O (parallel to the c-axis) which showed an abrupt increase from x=0.1 to 0.2. The excess oxygen content (δ) decreases from 0.241 to 0.03 with increasing substituted Ba contents within the solution range. The samples are all semiconductors at the temperature range 4 < T < 300 K.

The dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with carbon dioxide has been carried out over ZSM-5 zeolite-supported iron oxide catalyst as well as commercial catalyst (K-Fe2O3) and unsupported iron oxide (Fe3O4) for comparison. In the dehydrogenation over the ZSM-5 zeolite-supported iron oxide catalyst, ethylbenzene is predominantly converted to styrene by an oxidative pathway in the presence of excess carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide in this reaction is found to play a role as an oxidant for promoting catalytic activity as well as coke resistance of catalyst. On the other hand, both of commercial catalyst and unsupported Fe2O4 exhibit considerable decrease in catalytic activity under the same condition. It is suggested that an active phase for the dehydrogenation with carbon dioxide over ZSM-5 zeolite-supported iron oxide catalyst would be rather a reduced and isolated magnetite (Fe3O4)-like phase having oxygen deficiency in the zeolite matrix.

The relaxation process of photogenerated carriers was investigated using conductivity measurement on ZnO under He, $H_2,\; CO_2\; and\; O_2$. The process was well explained with the rate constant of reaction or recombination of hole and electron, $k_h \;and\; k_e ( k_h > k_e)$, respectively. Generally, $k_h$ increased with the pressure of the gases. The slope of $k_h$ with respect to the pressure increased in the order of $H_2{\le}He, while $k_h$ of $O_2$ was sensitive to the history of the sample. The relaxation process on ZnO which was exposed to oxygen at 298 K and 573 K was observed during the illumination at 298 K and it was found that the rate constant of hole decreased with illumination time. From the result, it was suggested that the rate constant of photogenerated excess carriers was affected by the surface barrier of the semiconductor.

Several chiral potassium B-alkyl-9-boratabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes $(K\; B-R^*-9-BBNH)$ and potassium B-alkoxy-9-boratabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes $(K \;B-OR^*-9-BBNH)$ were synthesized by treatment of the corresponding trialkylboranes and dialkylmonoalkoxyboranes with a small excess of potassium hydride. The chiral B-alkoxy derivatives generally reduce representative ketones, such as acetophenone and 3-methyl-2-butanone, with greater optical induction than the corresponding B-alkyl derivatives, suggesting the involvement of the oxygen atom in the control process for asymmetric synthesis.

During the experimental rearing period of common carp in a small simple recirculating aquarium combined with frequent exchanges of water and cleanings, some observations were made on the conditions of fish growing which was directly and instantly affected by the cleaning frequency of strainer, changing rate of water, division and frequency of feed supply, prohibition of excess feeding and the amount of dissolved oxygen. The fish don't seem to be stressed by the manipulation for the change of rearing water, cleaning of detritus in the strainer and filter. It appeared that the most hazzardous matters to fish growth were : 1) supplying feed when fish do not show active response to feed supplied, and 2) giving ample amount of feed at one time. When especially the amount of the feed is within the range fish instantly can swallow, the water clarity is maintained even after feeding operation, but if any excess amount is given the fish intake into mouth much more feed than able to instantly swallow and try to swallow it resulting in much dissolving and suspension of feed materials in water, making the water quite cloudy. Consequently all the water as well as filter bed becomes significantly polluted.

Purpose: The frequency of carbon monoxide poisoning has been decreased in the interior of the Korea. But occasionally it is occurred and the risk of exposure is high in working place so far. Because of the characteristics of gas, the detection of exposure and poisoning could be delayed and fatality is high. We should apprehend of carbon monoxide poisoning. So we would report analysis of patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: A retrospective review of CO poisoned patients visited emergency department from January 2000 to December 2004 was conducted. Results: 24 patients were enrolled. Their average of age was $37.6\pm20.9$ years old and COHb was $19.4\pm13.32\%$. The blood level of initial COHb and mental status on arrival were not correlated each other. The blood level of initial COHb and loss of consciousness were not correlated, too. Initial electrocardiography (EKG) was not correlated with cardiac enzymes such as CK-MB and troponin I. But base excess was correlated with mental status on arrival and complication such as rhabdomyolysis. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was correlated with base excess and mental status on arrival. Conclusion: The clinical features of carbon monoxide poisoning are nonspecific. For proper diagnosis, it is important that we should consider patient's environment and take patient's history carefully. The blood level of initial COHb does not reflect severity of poisoning accurately. So We should determine the treatment of choice depending on patient's status.

Load duration curve was applied to determine important water quality parameter control term for improvement of Paldang lake water quality. Load duration curve was analyzed with long term data from 1985 to 2012 including water quality, flow rate and climate state of Paldang water environment. From the result of flow rate patterns of paldang lake, differences between high and low flow rate of each year showed tendency of increase because rainfall characteristics of paldang lake watershed were changed by climate exchange. Both of land use state of upper Paldang lake watershed and number of limit excess from load duration curve indicated that seasonal action related with land use such as agricultural fertilizer distribution in upper watershed affected Paldang lake water quality. So focused BOD (biological oxygen demand) management during spring season from march to June is required to control organic materials in Paldand lake. The main affecting factor of TOC (total organic carbon) increase in Paldang lake was initial rainfall after march. T-N (total nitrogen) kept increasing during research period, so enhancement of T-N standard is needed to T-N control. Initial rainfall and increase of temperature during spring season from March to June showed a positive correlation with TP (total phosphorus) and Chl-a, respectively.

Iron-excess gallium ferrite, $Ga_{0.6}Fe_{1.4}O_3$ (GFO), is known to have room-temperature ferromagnetic phases and potentially exhibit ferroelectricity as well [1]. But, leaky polarization-electric field (PE) hysteresis curves of the GFO thin film are hurdle to prove its spontaneous polarization, in other words, ferroelecticity. One of the reasons that the GFO films have leaky PE hysteresis loop is carrier hopping between $Fe^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ sites due to oxygen deficiency. We focus on reducing conducting current by substituting divalent cations at $Fe^{2+}$ sites. GFO thin films were grown epitaxially along b-axis normal to $SrRuO_3/SrTiO_3$ (111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Current density of the ion-substituted GFO thin films was reduced by $10^3$ or more. Ferroelectric properties of the ion-substituted GFO thin films were measured using macroscopic and microscopic schemes. In particular, local ferroelectric properties of the GFO thin films were exhibited and their remnant polarization and piezoelectric d33 coefficient were obtained.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of various exercise intensity on Excess post exercise energy expenditure (EPEE), Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR),thyroid hormonal changes and biochemical variables in obese and NIDDM patients. The subject of the present study were divided into four groups and four periods: trained (T; n=10), control (C; n=10), obese (O; n=10) and NIDDM (N; n=10) group. And the periods were divided as follows; Resting (RE), Maximal (MA), High intensity (HI), and Low intensity (LI). There was significant difference in RMR among different intensity of exercise. in the T (p<0.05) not in the C, O, and N groups. however, there was no significant different percent body fat among all groups. In the energy expenditure, there was significant different among C, O, N groups compare to T in HIEE (high intensity exercise energy expenditure), LIEE (low intensity exercise energy expenditure), HIEEPE (high intensity exercise energy expenditure post exercise) and LIEEPE (low intensity exercise expenditure post exercise). In the hormonal level, there was significant different in T4 level in the T group at LI period and there was also significant difference in T4, Free T3, & Free T4 levels in T group at LI period, however there was no significant different in the O and N groups except LI period. In the fatigue variables, there was significant different in lactate and ammonia levels in the N group in the period of HI compare to C. The present cross-sectional study was design to investigate the relationship between exercise intensity and RMR in four groups. The focus of this investigation was to compare RMR in aerobically trained (T), control (C), obese (O) and NIDDM (N) group. The relationship among RMR, exercise intensity and percent body fat would best be investigated using Meta Lyzer 3B, MMX3B and body composition analyzer. Each subject completed measurement of percent body fat, RMR, hormone in the period of maximal oxygen uptake exercise (MA), high intensity exercise (HI), and low intensity exercise (LI). From the results, High and Low intensity of exercise, there was a trend for an increased RMR (kcal/day) in the trained groups and control group (in case of LI) not for the obese and N groups. This is best explained not by the reduced percent body fat but by the highly induced energy expenditure (during exercise and post exercise energy expenditure) and increased T4, Free T3, and Free T4 hormonal levels in the low intensity exercise for the T group and sometimes C group.
